Modeling flight attendants' exposures to pesticide in disinsected aircraft cabins. [PDF]
Environ Sci Technol, 2013 Aircraft cabin disinsection is required by some countries to kill insects that may pose risks to public health and native ecological systems. A probabilistic model has been developed by considering the microenvironmental dynamics of the pesticide in conjunction with the activity patterns of flight attendants, to assess their exposures and risks to ...
